This Monday, I hit the list.

Knife, seven feet long.
The typical head knife system weighs about thirty-six pounds.
However, the ruler here refers to the Han ruler, that is, 160 centimeters long, the knife stem is two feet long, and there is a dragon bird pattern in the end of the head.
The knife is also engraved with an inscription: In July of the second year of Yanxi, Jihai made a twenty-strong knife Ji Taiwei Huang Qiong.
"Who is Huang Qiong?"
Cao Peng looked at Wang Meng suspiciously, and then looked at Cao Ji.
"Oh, Huang Qiong is Huang Shiying, born in Jiangxia Huang. When Emperor Shun was a scholar, he was a scholar and a regular later. In the first year of Yanxi, he was dismissed from his official position because of food, and returned to become a big Si Nong in the same year. In the second year of Yanxi, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and after his death, he was given a general of the chariot cavalry.
This knife was specially made by the Jiangxia Huang clan in the second year of Yanxi to celebrate Huang Qiong's return to the rank of captain. There are a total of twenty handfuls, and in addition to the three preserved by the Huang clan itself, there may only be the one left in front of them...... In a flash, twelve years have passed. ”
"Uncle Wang recognizes this knife?"
Wang Meng nodded, "Back then, the general used this sword to conquer Nanyang County. Later, the general died in battle, and the whereabouts of the knife are unknown. ”
The general in Wang Meng's mouth is Zhang Mancheng, the general of Nanyang County, during the Taiping Road Uprising.
"If the Great General hadn't told me, where would I have known so many things?"
Cao Peng suddenly realized, "Then why is it here?" ”
Cao Ji smiled: "I have to thank your brother-in-law for this." If he hadn't brought the broken weapon from his arsenal for me to repair, he wouldn't have found it. Sheet...... After death, the knife may be confiscated by the government. It's just that no one knows where it came from, so it's thrown away in the arsenal. Two days ago, when I was sorting out those weapons with your Uncle Wang, I accidentally found this knife...... Very well preserved. ”
This kind of thing seems to be commonplace.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was often just after the end of the battle, and before the spoils could be counted, the enemy army attacked again. Almost not a single village, town or city in Nanyang County was repeatedly contested by rebels and official troops. Later, the weapons that had not had time to be counted were simply thrown into the arsenal, and no one went to make a special inventory. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, it fell into the Dong Zhuo Rebellion; Then the princes' conquests became more and more intense, so that many of the ordnance piled up in the arsenal later became tattered. It costs a lot to repair it, so it's better to buy a new ...... Later, the war in Jingzhou subsided, and the ordnance in the arsenal was even less valued, and no one even went to check it.
If it weren't for Kuaizheng suddenly wanting to clean up the arsenal, maybe this dragon sparrow broadsword would not have been discovered.
In a few years, these rusty, useless ordnance will inevitably be disposed of, or reheated, or discarded......
"This dragon sparrow has a good foundation, it turns out to be a treasure knife.
Your father repaired it again, and it was much sharper than before...... I'll make a deal with your father and give you this dragon sparrow to use. ”
"Let me use it?"
Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the dragon bird broadsword that was erected and had passed his eyebrows.
"Uncle Wang, you see that I am like this, can I move? It's almost up to my size, how do I use it?
Besides, even if I can dance with its weight, I guess I won't have the strength to do it in two hits, and I can only wait to be killed when the time comes. Let's let Brother Tiger use it, he has a lot of strength and grows fast, and it is estimated that he will be able to kill the enemy next year. ”
looked at the length of the dragon sparrow, and then looked at Cao Peng's size.
Wang Meng had no choice but to nod his head in agreement. In fact, in his heart, of course, he hoped that Wang Mai could have a weapon at hand. But after all, this knife was repaired by Cao Ji, and Wang Meng was embarrassed to ask for it. Since Cao Peng automatically gave up, he was no longer polite.
"So, thank you on behalf of the tiger!"
"Uncle, you are too polite, although we are not a family, we are better than a family. Brother Tiger Head is like my brother, who is it not for? ”
"Yes, yes!"
Cao Ji also said with a smile on the side: "Don't be sad, friends. When you grow taller, Daddy will give you another good knife. ”
Cao Peng laughed and said: "In this way, it will be troublesome to Dad!" ”
He is really not in a hurry, with his current physical condition, he will probably be cut down by someone if he goes up with a knife. Besides, Cao Peng still has his back hand and is not in a hurry to show it. Some techniques, even if Cao Ji are told now, may not be effective immediately. After all, Cao Ji has mostly relied on farm tools over the years, and his skills need to be further improved when it is convenient to build weapons.
However, Cao Ji's ability to repair the dragon sparrow and even make it even more qualitative shows that he has reached a certain level.
At lunchtime, Cao Peng asked seemingly unintentionally, "Uncle Wang, how far do you think my father is at this level?" ”
Wang Meng took a bite of the cake, "Your father's craftsmanship is not bad, but in this small place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to improve." ”
"Oh?"
"Think about it, how many opportunities can this small county town have for him to practice?
If you don't have an uncle and grandson this time, your father won't get this opportunity. But there can't always be sword repairs in this county, and if you want to go any further, your father will have to specialize in making swords. But this kind of work, even if your uncle and grandson help, I'm afraid it won't fall on your father. ”
"Why?"
"Bulk ordnance manufacturing, there are specialized workshops.
And a single piece of creation, your father is not famous, who will come to him for a knife? In a small place like Thornyang, who would pay a lot of money to find an unknown person to build weapons? If you want to say to me, your father's craftsmanship is not bad, but if you want to go further, you need to look for opportunities. ”
Cao Peng was silent!
What Wang Meng said is indeed reasonable, Thorn Yang is too small......
"Uncle, do you say that my father's craftsmanship can gain a foothold in Xudu?"
When Wang Meng heard this, he raised his head suddenly.
"Ah Fu, what do you mean ......?"
Cao Peng smiled, "I didn't mean anything else, just asked casually."
But as you said, if my father's craft is to improve, he must read to build weapons. It's just that I don't know if my father's current craft can gain a foothold in the big city...... I think that His Majesty is determined to be all over Xu, maybe it is an opportunity? ”
Wang Meng was silent for a moment.
Going to a big city?
"Ah Fu, we can also go to Xiangyang."
He asked tentatively, but Cao Peng didn't answer.
"By the way, my brother-in-law seems to be very busy these two days."
Cao Peng stood up suddenly, walked up to Cao Nan, and asked seemingly unintentionally.
Cao Nan was stunned for a moment, "It's really busy...... After coming back for the past two days, I fell asleep and couldn't even speak. ”
"Sister, I heard that Liu Jingzhou sent troops to Jianyang?"
"Send troops?"
Cao Ji frowned, "Why do you want to send troops here?" Is there going to be a war? Didn't Liu Jingzhou just form an alliance with General Xiao Zhang, what did he do when he sent troops? ”
"How do I know...... It was Deng Fan who said that Jiangxia soldier Cao Shi is now stationed in the Nine Girls City.
I guess my brother-in-law has been busy lately, and that's it...... If there is really going to be a war, then I guess it is not very safe on the side of Thorn Yang. ”
"Lao Cao, let's go to Xudu."
Wang Meng said in a deep voice: "Ah Fu is right, if there is a war, this place in Thorn Yang may not be safe. Liu Jingzhou can let Wancheng go, I don't think it will be easy to let go of Jianyang...... The Son of Heaven is set to be Xuchang, and if we go over now, maybe it will be a good opportunity. ”
Cao Peng turned his head to look at Wang Meng, but saw Wang Meng smiling at him.
But Cao Ji frowned, "Just gave birth to An, is this going to leave?" Besides, why go to Xudu, I don't think Xiangyang is bad. ”
"Xiangyang may not be able to tolerate us."
Wang Meng replied meaningfully, but Cao Ji still seemed to be a little hesitant.
"Uncle and grandson have just received the weight of the county order now, and if he leaves at this time, I'm afraid he won't agree."
Zhang also seemed to be a little reluctant, and Ai Ai interjected.
"Why don't you wait for your uncle and grandson to come back and find out his tone?" Cao Ji said softly: "If the uncle and grandson have no opinion, it doesn't hurt for us to move away." ”
"Ha, I'm just talking about it...... Damn, it's all this time, why hasn't the tiger head come back yet? ”
Wang Meng didn't continue the discussion, got up and muttered away.
He's a bit reckless and straight, but he's not without a heart. As you can see, this is not the time to talk about moving. Maybe Cao Peng has such thoughts, but Cao Ji, Zhang, Cao Nan, and Deng Ji don't agree to move away.
Wang Meng didn't know what Cao Peng was thinking, but he also guessed that Cao Peng seemed to want to leave Jianyang.
What's with?
Wang Meng didn't know, but he was willing to help Cao Peng.
Plant a seed first, and when the opportunity is ripe, it will be a matter of course.
In Cao Peng's heart, he was very grateful to Wang Meng.
He really wanted to leave Thorn Sun...... Since being born again, I seem to have been overly cautious. What can this small Deng village do?
Going out, only by going out, will there be a broader space.
The big husband needs to be famous, otherwise he will live his life!
After Cao Peng finished eating, he went back to his room to read......
In the afternoon, the king bought it back.
He ate out with Deng Fan at noon and drank a little wine.
"Ah Fu, tell me honestly, do you like Miss Zhang?"
Wang Mai rushed into Cao Peng's house, sat on the couch, and asked vaguely: "If you really like Miss Zhang, let's snatch her over...... Do you know why Miss Zhang didn't come today? Because of the yellow shot yesterday, I stayed overnight at Zhang's house. ”
"Tiger Head, you're drunk!"
"I don't have much, I can drink another jar of wine."
Wang Mai fell headlong on the couch, "Ah Fu, we are good brothers." Although after you recovered from your illness, you seemed to be a different person, you knew more than me, and you also taught me martial arts...... But I still think of you as the former Ah Fu. If you really like Miss Zhang, let's go to Niyang and snatch her. What a yellow shot, I'm not afraid...... I just don't want you to be unhappy because of this. ”
The voice, getting lower and lower, until finally, there was a snoring.
Cao Peng shook his head with a smile, stepped forward, and picked up the futon for Wang to buy and cover.
"Tiger Head, you are my best brother."
Cao Peng stood up and walked out of the room.
The old peach tree in the courtyard, I don't know when, showed a touch of tender green, as if to herald that spring is coming.
Cao Peng stood under the tree and looked up at the sky.
But seeing the white clouds are long and unpredictable...... Suddenly, the clouds changed, and they became Zhang Wanzhen's bright smile. Cao Peng stood under the tree stupidly, unable to say a word for a long time. He found that although he had known Zhang Wanzhen for a short time, this woman had been engraved in his heart.
Could it be that there is really no fate?
Cao Peng subconsciously clenched his fists: next time I see her, I must show my heart to her!
————————————————————————————
Niyang, in front of Zhang's door.
A group of brightly armored cavalry lined up on either side.
A young general walked out of the door, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old. He helped an old man out of the gate and stopped beside a carriage.
"Brother Zhongjingxian, let's stay."
The old man smiled and said goodbye to the man standing at the gate, wearing a green robe and a fairy wind, "These words are indeed bothering, and they have caused you a lot of trouble." When you are free, please come to Whitewater as a guest. I waited for the good brother to come. ”
If Cao Peng was here, he might recognize the old man who spoke, the old man who was boxing on the other side of the river.
The man on the doorstep also smiled back, "Brother Chengyan, the younger brother is busy compiling medical skills, and he didn't entertain him well this time, the elder brother is not surprised, the younger brother is already very happy...... Brother rest assured, when the peach and apricot are in full bloom, the younger brother will definitely go to visit, and then he will not have to trouble the brother. ”
This man is the famous medical saint of later generations, Zhang Zhongjing.
"Yueying, don't rub it off, it's time to go!"
The old man shouted into the gate, only to see a young girl slowly walking out.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry?"
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the young general spoke: "Yueying, you have been away from home for more than a month, and your aunt is very worried.
I came on business this time, and my aunt specifically told me that I must take you back. If you don't go back, how dare I go back to the door? ”
The girl snorted, "Then don't come to the door." ”
"Yueying, how do you talk to your brother? Why don't you apologize soon? ”
The young general waved his hand again and again, "Uncle, no, no need to apologize." As long as Yueying goes back, I will give it to my aunt, and I will give it an explanation. ”
The girl glared at the young man and turned around to salute Zhang Zhongjing.
"Uncle, I ask you for something, please don't forget...... Otherwise, when you come to my house, I won't give you wine to eat. ”
Zhang Zhongjing laughed, "I can't forget, I can't forget, I'll cross the river tomorrow and treat him." ”
The girl smiled like a flower and nodded slightly.
"Then don't forget ......"
"Don't worry, you won't forget."
"Uncle, then Yueying will leave."
The girl spoke, and boarded the carriage.
"Huang Jue, remember what you promised me."
"Yes, of course I do."
The young general smiled and nodded repeatedly.
The girl was relieved and bowed her head and got into the carriage......
On the other side, the old man also got into the car and said goodbye to Zhang Zhongjing again.
The young general waved his hand and beckoned a family general to his side, "Be more careful on the road, don't delay time, and send your uncle home early." ”
"Whoa!"
The general stepped onto his horse, beckoned, and the carriage moved slowly.
The cavalry immediately divided into two teams, one in front of the other and one behind, to protect the carriage and leave.
The young general let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly walked in front of Zhang Zhongjing, "Uncle Shi, when the little nephew came over, the lord once instructed that he asked Uncle Shi to go to Xiangyang as soon as possible. Madame has not been in good health recently, and the doctor in the house can't find out the crux......"
Zhang Zhongjing nodded, "If that's the case, I'll leave as soon as possible." ”
The young general saluted again, "The little nephew has ordered Nieyang County to prepare a chariot, and if Uncle Shi leaves immediately, maybe he can catch up with the Qingming Festival to worship the ancestors." ”
"In that case...... Then I'll pack my things now and set off right away. ”
"Then the little nephew will let Nieyang County send the car."
After the young general saw Zhang Zhongjing return home, a haze suddenly flashed on his face, "Go to Jianyang, pass on my military orders, and recruit Deng Ji to follow the army's orders." ”
After speaking, he shook the reins and urged the horse to go to Nieyang County.
Little sister, don't blame me for being troublesome...... Good end, what do you think of a pariah?
Uncle is really, he didn't even pay attention to it, and his surname was Hu. If it spreads out, how can I save the face of the Jiangxia Huang family?
Thinking of this, the young general gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind!
